We already know that socialism is going strong in China, Korea, and Cuba. But we (or at least I) don’t hear that much about Vietnam and Laos.

How is it going over there? What is their trajectory towards becoming developed? How much progress have they made so far? Is the socialist ideology going strong there? Where can I keep up to date on these countries?

    I haven’t read the whole thing quite yet, but this looks good. It concludes:

    The Lao PDR, as a developing nation, still has a long road ahead in its pursuit of socialism. However, by pursuing socialism without entering a period of full capitalism, building the socialist-oriented New Economic Mechanism, and continuing the development of economic reforms on the basis of Marxism-Leninism, the Lao PDR, with the LPRP at the helm, has accomplished more in the past five decades than would have seemed possible in 1975.
